''Urban Design: Health and the Therapeutic Environment'' demonstrates how urban design and planning impact on public health and sustainable development. Moughtin et al. explore the concept of what makes a physically and psychologically ï½healthyï½ environment in the context of the paramount need for new homes where living standards are not compromised, in increasingly crowded cities. ï½ Sets out the history and development of the healthy city, from the English spa town to standards of care in Cuba to provide a context for modern urban health development. ï½ Covers a wide range of environmental, ecological, health and epidemiological issues. ï½ Case studies and examples show how health policy and procedure is practically applied to sustainable urban development. ''Urban Design: Health and the Therapeutic Environment'' outlines best practice for healthy, sustainable urban design and provides a reference tool for architects, urban designers, landscape architects, health professionals and planners.
